Kapanlagi.com - The Dreadful Experimentation Arc in the anime Made in Abyss covers the journey of Riko, Reg, and Nanachi to the 5th Layer of the Abyss, where they face Bondrewd, the mad scientist from Ido Front.

This story is filled with sadistic experiments and the sacrifice of children to overcome the Curse of the Abyss. This adventure highlights the horrific situations from the depths of the mysterious hole.

1. Synopsis

Riko and friends arrive at Ido Front, Bondrewd's headquarters in the dangerous 5th Layer, which is filled with sensory deprivation from the Curse of the Abyss. Bondrewd greets them warmly but manipulatively, revealing a prana bait cartridge that allows him to avoid the deadly effects of the Curse by transferring the burden to human bait. He tests Reg with an intense fight, showcasing the power of Reg's Incinerator.

Bondrewd explains his mission to research the Curse of Layer 6, which causes mutation or death when ascending, through brutal experiments on the orphans he has gathered.

He uses a special platform to measure the effects of the Curse, sacrificing hundreds of children for data, including his creations like the loyal cyborg children Prushka. Riko is shocked to learn that her mother Lyza once met Bondrewd, adding a layer of mystery.

Prushka, Bondrewd's beloved bait, secretly helps Riko by providing secret information and special cartridges. When the plan is uncovered, Prushka is sacrificed by being placed into the Blessing, an artifact that transforms her into a flower-shaped Zoaholic core.

Bondrewd uses this to ascend to Layer 6 without mutation, but Riko seizes it after Reg defeats his forces.

Reg fights fiercely against Bondrewd, who splits himself into bait cartridges for unlimited regeneration.

With the Incinerator, Reg destroys the bait one by one, but temporarily loses his memory due to the weapon's side effects. Nanachi helps with clever strategies, ensuring Bondrewd is defeated even though the scientist remains calm and philosophical about the sacrifices.

After the bitter victory, Zoaholic from Prushka protects the trio from the Curse of Layer 5 while ascending for preparation to descend again.
